@Mike_Rann Stop the gaslighting, Rann.

Those cowards who booed the Welcome to Country at Dawn Services around Australia dishonour the ANZACs and all those who have fought for our nation ever since. Ignorance is no excuse for betraying Australian values and seeking to undermine what we stand for as a country.

@DrCraigEmerson The Acknowledgement of Country during the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day is not only disrespectful of the Australian people, it is disrespectful of all those who fought for our country - the country which the WtC implies is illegitimate and stands on stolen land.

Booing at the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day during the Acknowledgement of Country is not only disrespectful of First Nations people it is disrespectful of all those who fought for our country - including my father. He would have been appalled.

@Pontifex Christendom flourished and they had the death penalty.

The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.

This needs to stop

@nikiscevak Eye-opening when you consider that communism is a collectivist ideology.

Australia has 5x the number of public servants per capita than China 🙈

@PeterSweden7 Propaganda. In South America, soap operas were found to have had an outsize impact on shaping social norms. Platform celebrities with large families and the women will do the rest!

It's not climate change. The falling birth rates is actually the biggest problem that humanity faces right now. How do we solve this and encourage people to have more children? Give me your best ideas 👇

@PLeithart So the selling of indulgences wasn’t too far off the mark? ;p

For the most part, the Bible connects atonement with with sacrifice and the shedding of blood. Yahweh gives the life-blood on the altar as atonement for souls (Lev 17:11). But then there's Exod 30:16, which speaks of "silver of atonement" (keseph hakippurim), which makes atonement for souls (lekapper 'al-nephshoteymkem). The priests run an economy in the tabernacle, with exchanges made in the currency of blood and flesh. Conversely, economic life operates by productive sacrifices of energy and time, by reconciliation between buyers and sellers through the medium of money, which "circulates" through the social body. Against this background, note Peter's insistence that we're redeemed (lutroo) by blood rather than gold or silver (1 Pet 1:18-19) - which seems to imply that gold and silver do secure redemption in some circumstances. Blood and money: Something worth exploring here. Has anyone done it?

@JEChalmers How much are WE paying for it?

BREAKING: We've just secured another 200M litres of diesel. This brings the total additional diesel secured in the last seven days to approximately 300M litres. We’re doing everything we can to help secure more fuel for Australians.

The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.

@Mon4Kooyong A generation of children raised in childcare reaching maturity?

The number of adults being diagnosed with ADHD has risen six-fold since 2017, and it has increased by almost a third in the last year alone. This is largely because of the rise of ADHD-specific telehealth clinics providing quick diagnoses, sometimes based on online questionnaires alone. Where those clinics are also dispensing medication, there are obvious concerns regarding clinical decision-making and commercial incentives. We need better regulation of telehealth services—it's an under-regulated part of our health system. Image: @abcnews

@gustav0cardenas Who did they leave on the lunar surface to film the take-off?

Se habla de cómo se llegó a la Luna, pero casi nunca de cómo salieron de ella. La escena es simple: dos astronautas dentro de un módulo del tamaño de un ascensor, sentados sobre la única máquina que podía sacarlos de la superficie lunar. Si ese motor fallaba, no había plan B. No existía un “rescate”. Era despegar… o quedarse ahí para siempre. El Módulo Lunar “Eagle” dejó atrás sus patas, su base y todo lo que no fuera estrictamente necesario. Solo despegó la parte superior: un cascarón ligero con un motor hipersensible que debía encenderse una sola vez y sin margen de error. El 21 de julio de 1969, Armstrong y Aldrin activaron el motor de ascenso. No hubo cuenta regresiva épica ni música heroica. Solo un encendido limpio, una vibración corta y el Eagle levantándose en silencio absoluto, dejando una nube de polvo que tardó segundos eternos en asentarse. Mientras subían, el módulo tuvo que ejecutar una coreografía precisa para encontrarse con el Módulo de Servicio y Mando, donde Michael Collins los esperaba en órbita. Un error de ángulo, de velocidad o de sincronización… y no había segunda oportunidad. El acoplamiento fue perfecto. Se transfirieron, sellaron la nave, soltaron el Eagle y lo dejaron morir en órbita lunar. Desde ahí, el viaje de regreso a la Tierra ya era “simple”: encender motores, tomar trayectoria y caer en el Pacífico. Así fue la salida del Apolo 11: nada de tomas hollywoodense, solo ingeniería al límite, un motor que debía funcionar sí o sí, y dos humanos apostando su vida a una chispa exacta en el vacío.

@JeffBezos Size matters

This NDIS business in West Sydney named YWE Care is running a luxury car giveaway The NDIS is supposed to be a government funded disability insurance scheme for vulnerable people Can somebody please explain to me WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH LUXURY CARS

Cooking the Climate Data See that white louvered box? Since November 2017, Sydney’s official temperatures have been recorded inside it at Observatory Hill. The screen is sited in what is the hottest available location at Observatory Hill, with heat reflecting from the adjacent old stone building and its tin roof only a few metres away directly to the south. BOM’s own parallel data shows that this new site records temperatures up to 3°C warmer than the previous location. This has cook Sydney’s temperature record - yet this cooked data 3as used in a study claiming Sydney’s summers are becoming longer. 😱

@RoadknightThe $140 a day does not equal $1400 a week.

I did not know that childcare was subsidised by the government at up to $140/day. Here's another idea I've been suggesting for decades: pay the grandparents instead. At $1,400 a week (no seriously) for two kids five days a week, what grandparent wouldn't want to?? They don't need police checks; they've raised kids; they can pass on language, culture and family history. Or does that all make far too much common sense? abc.net.au/news/2026-04-1…

@NihiloX Wait a minute. He didn’t just tell her, he PERSONALLY told her? Then it must be true!

🚨CANDACE OWENS Just Dropped a Bombshell Right On Donald Trump! Charlie Kirk personally told Candace Owens that Trump took $100 MILLION from Miriam Adelson in exchange for allowing "them" to annex the West Bank. However, that’s not all! While fixing his tie in the mirror, Trump reportedly muttered to himself, “I’m going to take her money… and then I will f^ck her over.” Only a few weeks later Trump was grazed by a bullet in Butler, PA. If Candace knows… did Miriam find out too? Is this why Trump never looked into Butler? Listen to @RealCandaceO and tell me what you think.

@ChavuraStephen You should check out the Anglican Ordinariate, then. It lacks the numbers needed for all the trimmings, but the history and theology remains solid.

While many evangelical churches now barely acknowledge Palm Sunday, the Orthodox still give it the honour it deserves. Beautiful aesthetics, deep, masculine voices, and a sense of the Holy. By the time I left the church it was standing room only with many young people and young families. By comparison evangelicals have turned their services into glorified bingo nights. For me, nothing beats an Anglican Prayer Book service with the candles, choir, and shadows. The Greeks are close though. Christ Is Risen! (St Raphael’s Liverpool)

Rory Sutherland made a quietly devastating observation about one of the biggest societal shifts of the last 50 years. He said the move to the double-income household started as an option but quickly became an obligation. The big winners? Governments (twice as many people to tax) and property owners (now two salaries were needed to buy a house). The big loser? The family itself, which lost roughly 35 hours of discretionary leisure time per week — with no real increase in living standards, because the extra money was largely soaked up by higher house prices and taxes. It’s a classic example of how something that begins as liberation can quietly turn into a new form of constraint. Longitudinal studies on happiness and time use (including data from the American Time Use Survey and OECD reports) show that the sharp rise in dual-earner households correlated with stagnant or declining leisure time for families, while subjective well-being metrics for parents have not risen in line with the additional income — supporting the idea that much of the gain was captured by housing costs and taxation rather than improved quality of life. It’s a reminder to look carefully at changes that society presents as inevitable progress. What do you think — has the double-income model delivered more freedom or more pressure for most families?

@elonmusk Passing the SAVE Act would guarantee Republican governments for the foreseeable future. Those who own the uniparty (i.e. the RINO puppetmasters) cannot let that happen, because the “arrangement” between compromised Republicans and Dems would be endangered.

Failing to pass SAVE is an act of high treason against the people of America

Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogoulas just released the most damning piece of investigative journalism Australia has produced in years. Minnesota’s disability fraud broke the internet. Australia’s makes it look small. The NDIS is a $52 billion/year program, the 3rd largest expense on the federal budget and larger than Australia’s entire defence budget. In Lakemba there are 1,300 registered providers. Statistically, 1 in every 3 people is running one. The investigation shows 9 providers sharing a single building address. Every door was locked across multiple visits. Phone numbers disconnected, websites broken or gone entirely. They then set up a cleaning sting by hiring an NDIS registered cleaning provider; the kind billing directly out of disabled people’s government support packages. Two cleaners show up to a staged Airbnb with zero equipment. They clean with the room’s own tissue box and leave in 25 minutes. Invoice: $236. That includes 2 hours labour at $116 and $120 in “travel costs” claiming 60km when the actual distance was 30km. When confronted, the provider reissues it at $24.80. Then there’s M&F Disability Services. They received a lifetime ban from the NDIS in September 2025 for fraud. Within weeks, Sunny Days Care opens at the exact same address, on the exact same phone number, with the same accountant connected to both entities through ASIC records. When Drew and Pete walk in and ask questions, staff physically assault them, smash $800 worth of equipment, and scream sexual harassment allegations on a public street. The NDIS integrity chief told the Australian Senate that there are literally not enough judges to deal with the known fraud cases (we’re talking tens of billions). Out of 7,000 fraud tip offs from participants reporting their own providers, only 16 prosecutions have been completed. 16 out of 7,000.
